Okay My Way?

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways,”
declares the Lord.
“As the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.” -Isaiah 55:8-9

In pain you pray for me to act, but that I
act in the way you want. You do not turn to me; instead, you want me
to adapt to your ideas. You are not sick people who ask the doctor to
cure you, but rather sick people who tell the doctor how to. So do not
act this way, but pray as I taught you…-Surrender Novena given to Fr. Don Dolindo Ruotolo

“Rarely if ever do we know the grand intention, yet if we surrender to the creative impulse, our singular piece of the puzzle takes its proper shape.” -Rick Rubin, The Creative Act: A Way of Being

True surrender means trusting that everything will be okay.

It does not mean however, that everything will go your way. Or in the way that you thought it would.
